Ayrshire’s award-winning Joanna’s Chippy Van is celebrating another major achievement after being crowned Best Fish Supper in Ayrshire at the Scottish Fish & Chip Awards 2026.
The popular mobile fish and chip business secured the regional title at the awards ceremony held on Monday, 9 November, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Central, adding another accolade to its growing collection.
Founded in 2022 by Calum Kennedy, Joanna’s Chippy Van has become a familiar sight across Ayrshire, serving freshly cooked fish and chips to local communities while also catering for weddings, festivals and private events.
The family-run business takes its name from Calum’s daughter, who was named after his late grandmother, giving the venture a special family connection.
The latest award follows several years of success at the Scottish Fish & Chip Awards, including being named Scotland’s Best Mobile Fish & Chip Van in both 2023 and 2025.
In 2024, the business was Highly Recommended in the same national category, while in 2025 it also received Highly Recommended recognition for Best Fritter and Best Social Media.
Joanna’s had previously been Highly Recommended for Best Fish Supper in Ayrshire in 2023, making this year's regional victory another significant milestone for the business.
The Scottish Fish & Chip Awards recognise businesses across the country for their achievements in the industry, with categories covering everything from traditional fish suppers and mobile operators to customer experience, innovation and digital marketing.
The awards are organised by Paramount Events, with finalists selected through public voting before submissions are assessed by an independent judging panel.
For Joanna’s Chippy Van, the latest recognition adds to an impressive record of achievements since launching just four years ago, cementing its position among Scotland’s recognised mobile fish and chip businesses.
